Recently the giant of the mining components manufacturing industry, Bitfury, made a successful round of private financing to boost its growth.

Based in San Francisco, California, Bitfury has successfully completed its $ 80 million financing round, led by venture capital firm Korelya Capital. It is one of the most significant financing times of a blockchain company this year.

The growth of Bitfury has also seen its manifestation in the expansion of capital and shareholders of the company, especially expanding its shareholder base. Capital is being wisely directed to continue its expansion by reaching adjacent market segments, such as artificial intelligence.

The capital growth plan was advised by Bryan, Garnier & Co, an important and well-established investment bank focused on business growth in Europe, who acted as Sole Financial Advisor and Placement Agent for the Bitfury group in this private round of financing.
The fundraising mechanism operated as a “private placement” in a fundraising campaign that involved the sale of shares to high-end institutions, such as hedge funds, banks and insurance companies. In this way, a qualitative and quantitative expansion was assured both in capital and in the quality of investors.
